Chobbish Ghanta is local news partner of ESPN for exclusive coverage of FIFA World Cup

‘Chobbish Ghanta’, the dedicated Bengali news channel from Zee Aakaash News Pvt Ltd, a joint venture between Zee News and Akaash Bangla, which went on air from March 31, on Thursday revealed its upcoming programme initiatives in Kolkata.

The high point of this, at least for the sports crazy Bengali populace, is that the channel will be the local news partner of ESPN for exclusive coverage of the FIFA World Cup.

Apart from pure news, the channel will also dwell on film, art and culture, science and technology, healthy and hygiene, sports and international trends to cater to the eclectic Bengali tastes.

Incidentally, Chobbish Ghanta is the only Bengali channel available on the DTH platform of DishNet throughout the country.
